India’s Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) on Wednesday summoned Bangladesh’s High Commissioner to lodge a formal diplomatic protest over what it described as provocative anti India remarks made by National Citizen Party leader Hasnat Abdullah.

Abdullah, while addressing a gathering at Dhaka’s Central Shaheed Minar on Monday, warned that Bangladesh could shelter forces hostile to India, including separatist groups, and help cut off India’s “seven sisters” states — Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Manipur, Meghalaya, Mizoram, Nagaland, and Tripura.
